How much was the rough estimate for a full spray?

I honestly don't see the problem. All the street machines / show cars are resprayed, so why not a skyline?

If it's quality, it will show.

I get mates rates so it's just materials for me, around 4-5k was his guess.

He said a proper costed job would be easily 10k+

I'm going to sit on it and see if I can get a Gunmetal Vspec II as I want that colour and interior combo.

How many people actually check the paint codes, enthusiasts, maybe most, general punters, not many I wouldn't think.

And after registering the colour change with the DMT/RTA/BOATSANDCARSANDSTUFF the car will be registered as at new colour.

I would buy a resprayed car if it was the colour and modified the way I wanted, after I had a accident check done and climbed around under the car checking rails and such of course.

I've seen a lot of older cars (big dollar old steel bumper cars) which have had a colour change done properly and you cannot tell (unless you look at the codes on the plate) you do need to strip the car to a bare shell but in the end if you get a good (read proper) job done you would never know.

And really, we are not talking about a $???,??? classic cars.

I agree with the comments about the price dropping, over the next 5 to 10 years fairly substantially too, just like the 32 and 33 did.

As for the 32,33 ,34 variants, Its really about the body shape you want in the end, you are going to be looking at it in your garage.

For me, a white 32 with a 33 - 34 powertrain/interior would be nice to look at in my garage.

Good luck with your hunting.

I am biased to the 34 but heres my 2 cents; if you can, find a really clean original car with maybe some quality stage 1 mods. Then build on that, enjoying each and every subtle improvement that you make. Dont change too much at once. The Nissan OEM parts are good so don't waste money on anything that you don't need. Drive it lots and never sell it, ever, or you will regret it one day.

BNR34 is the last RB and true manual GTR its a 100% guaranteed future classic collectable.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
